The NCGA has the Local Rule in effect for all of our tournamets. Please review tournament information that is provided prior to any tournmaent in which you play in order to know the Conditions of the Competion. The United States Golf Asociation does not allow the use of Distance Measuring Devices in its qualifiers or championships. I was a rules official for CWAC Senior Women's Tournament and they too elect to not put the Local Rule in effect. Players must read theconditions of the competition ad Local Rules for each tournament Gail Rogers, Director of Education Dear Sam,

It should have said 2008. For all NCGA run tournaments we use the Local Rule allowing the use of distance measuring devices. There are many possible Local Rules which are allowed and for which the USGA Decisions on the Rules of Golf gives us sample verbiage. You can find sample Local Rules in 33-8 of the Decisions book. I hope that is now clear. Gail Rogers Director of Education Dear Kent,

The new ruling on measuring devices 14-3 allows for a "local ruling" for use of measureing devices. Then you inserted " The NCGA Rules and Tournament Committees have agreed to implement this Local Rule. GPS type systems can be used in all of our qualifiers and tournaments in 2006." Did you mean 2008..?? and why would I think your ruling is local..?? The ruling should be for each course,, not every course. Every course is not local.. ?? Not sure this is clear to anyone ...

Our course has the GPS on their carts. It was not functioning. Several people had their own private hand held GPS devices and they insisted that it was okay to use them. Some players felt that since the course's GPS was not functioning, those members with private GPS should not be allowed to use them. It was an angry touchy subject. What say you?
